Lyrics
Verse 1
Undivided love I bring You
You've become my everything
Grace sings out its song, now I respond
Lifting up this offering
Pre-Chorus
I give You my life Lord, You take control
You have my heart, my soul
Verse 2
Undivided love, You gave it all
Laying down Your majesty
Mercy made a way, called me by name
Welcomed me with open arms
Chorus
'Cause it's all for You, all that I am, I surrender
Jesus, all for You
Saviour, to You, I surrender now, I surrender now
Bridge
And all that I have ever done
And all that I have now become
It's all for You, it's all for You, God
With every single breath I take
I'm bringing You the highest praise
It's all for You, it's all for You, God

Meaning & Inspiration
Undivided Love, by Ben Cantelon, is a song of surrender that begins with what the singer brings: wholehearted devotion offered in response to grace. "Grace sings out its song, now I respond" sets the order clearly, with God acting first and the worshipper answering.
The second verse looks at the cost of that grace. God "gave it all" and laid down majesty, and mercy "called me by name" and welcomed the singer with open arms. Those lines recall the incarnation and the welcome given to a returning child.
The chorus is the response: "all for You, all that I am, I surrender." It is simple enough for a congregation to sing after one hearing. The bridge widens the offering to everything the singer has done and has become, ending with every breath given as praise.
The song works well as a response song after a sermon or during communion, wherever a church wants to turn thanks into a personal commitment to Jesus.
